They’re lurking in the shadows all night long

Waiting and planning to perpetrate wrong.

They do not reveal

What vehicles they’ll steal.

They stay hidden in the shadows

Their motives to conceal.

They’re lurking in the shadows all day long

Waiting for somebody to say something wrong.

I see their beady eyes

I often think them spies

And they lurk in the shadows

Spreading vicious lies.

They’re lurking in the shadows all life long

Ridiculing another who dares to sing a song

They bully all the weak

They terrorize the meek

And they lurk in the shadows

Hard for all to seek.

They’re lurking in the shadows their whole life long

They cannot stand the light because they know they’re in the wrong

Bullies, criminals, and spies

Stealing, spreading lies

They stay hidden in the shadows

But we still see their beady eyes.

They’re lurking in the shadows always avoiding light

They cannot stand the scrutiny of judging wrong from right

So they know they must stay hid

Until the Judge does bid

He will call them from the shadows

And all my fears He will rid.
